Mary Washington Healthcare earns national recognition for high-quality stroke care. The American Heart Association presents Get With The Guidelines(R)- Stroke Gold Plus award for demonstrating commitment to delivering evidence-based, life-saving stroke care FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (July 27, 2026) - Mary Washington Healthcare has received the American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines(R)- Stroke Gold Plus quality achievement award in recognition of its commitment to delivering timely, evidence-based stroke care that improves patient outcomes, reduces disability, and saves lives. In addition, Mary Washington Healthcare earned the association's Target: Stroke(SM) Honor Roll Elite and Target: Type 2 Diabetes(TM) Honor Roll recognitions. These awards recognize hospitals that achieve rapid treatment times for eligible stroke patients and implement high standards of care for patients with Type 2 diabetes, a major risk factor for stroke. Stroke is the number four cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the U.S, according to the American Heart Association's 2026 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics Report. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel supplying the brain is blocked by a clot or ruptures, preventing blood and oxygen from reaching brain tissue. When this happens, brain cells begin to die. Early detection and rapid treatment are critical to improving survival, minimizing disability and supporting faster recovery. Get With The Guidelines brings the expertise of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association into hospitals nationwide, helping ensure patient care is aligned with the latest research and evidence-based guidelines. Get With The Guidelines - Stroke is an in-hospital program designed to improve stroke care through consistent adherence to these guidelines, which can minimize long-term effects of stroke and help prevent death. "This recognition reflects Mary Washington Healthcare's commitment to delivering the highest quality stroke care by adhering to the latest evidence-based treatment guidelines," said Omar Saeed, MD, Stroke Medical Director, Mary Washington Neurology. "Get With The Guidelines helps our teams put proven science into practice every day. Research shows this approach can support better recovery, with the ultimate goal of helping people in Fredericksburg and the surrounding areas live longer, healthier lives." "Every minute matters when someone is experiencing a stroke. This recognition reflects the dedication of our physicians, nurses, emergency medical services partners, and care teams who work together to ensure patients receive rapid, evidence-based treatment. Our goal is to give every stroke patient the best possible opportunity for recovery and a return to their daily lives," said Susan Halpin, Program Manager of Stroke Services, Mary Washington Healthcare. Each year, participating hospitals qualify for the award by demonstrating how their organization has committed to providing quality stroke care. In addition to following clinical treatment guidelines, Get With The Guidelines participants also provide education to help people manage their recovery and ongoing health at home. "We are proud to recognize Mary Washington Healthcare for its commitment to caring for people experiencing stroke," said Steven Messe, M.D., volunteer chair of the American Heart Association Stroke System of Care Advisory Group. "Participation in Get With The Guidelines is associated with improved patient outcomes, including greater likelihood of being discharged home, fewer readmissions and lower mortality rates - a meaningful benefit for health care systems, families and communities." Mary Washington Hospital also met specific scientific guidelines as a Primary Stroke Center, featuring a comprehensive system for the rapid diagnosis and treatment of patients admitted through the emergency department with stroke symptoms.

Mary Washington Healthcare offers mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair using the MitraClip(TM) system. Innovative and Minimally Invasive Treatment Expands Advanced Heart Care in Fredericksburg Fredericksburg, VA, (May 13, 2026) - Mary Washington Healthcare has expanded its advanced cardiovascular services with the introduction of the mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) using the next-generation MitraClip(TM) system, a minimally invasive treatment option for select patients with mitral valve regurgitation without the need for open-heart surgery. The procedure will be performed at Mary Washington Hospital by Arijit Chanda, MD, and John C. Cardone, MD, FACS, further strengthening access to advanced structural heart care for patients across the Fredericksburg region. TEER is an innovative, catheter-based procedure used to treat mitral valve regurgitation, a condition in which the heart's mitral valve does not close properly, allowing blood to leak backward. During the procedure, physicians guide a small device through the femoral vein in the leg to the heart and clip together a portion of the mitral valve's two leaflets, helping it close more effectively. This approach can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life for appropriately selected patients. "I have been performing TEER procedures for the past seven years, and bringing this therapy to Mary Washington Hospital allows patients in our region to receive advanced care safely, close to home," said Arijit Chanda, MD, Structural Heart and Interventional Cardiologist at Mary Washington Hospital. "Offering this procedure also opens the door to emerging minimally invasive transcatheter valve therapies, and we are excited to continue growing the structural heart program for the Fredericksburg region and surrounding communities." "This is an important advancement for our cardiovascular program and for patients in our community," said Mike Brown, CCP, Program Director of Cardiac Surgery and Structural Heart and Chief Perfusionist at Mary Washington Hospital. "By offering the TEER procedure, we are bringing highly advanced, minimally invasive structural heart treatments closer to home, allowing patients to receive leading-edge care without traveling outside the region." An expert, multidisciplinary structural heart team evaluates each patient to determine whether TEER is the most appropriate treatment option, using advanced imaging, collaborative clinical expertise, and minimally invasive techniques. The program is designed for patients who may not be candidates for open-heart surgery and who could benefit from an option that helps relieve symptoms such as shortness of breath and fatigue while supporting improved daily function. "The TEER procedure offers meaningful benefits for patients who otherwise have limited treatment options," said John C. Cardone, MD, FACS, Cardiothoracic Surgeon and Structural Heart Medical Director at Mary Washington Hospital. "What makes this program especially strong is the teamwork behind it bringing together cardiology, cardiac surgery, imaging, and nursing expertise to tailor treatment plans that prioritize safety, recovery, and quality of life for each individual patient." Mitral valve regurgitation can range from mild to severe and may lead to symptoms that interfere with everyday activities, including fatigue, shortness of breath, and reduced exercise tolerance. For patients at higher risk for traditional surgery or with complex medical conditions, mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair may provide an effective alternative with a shorter recovery time compared to open-heart procedures. Patients diagnosed with mitral valve regurgitation are encouraged to speak with their physician about evaluation and treatment options. Mary Washington Healthcare's structural heart team partners closely with referring providers to determine the most appropriate care approach for each patient.
